What is Image-based sexual abuse?
Image-based sexual abuse can also be referred to as 'revenge porn', non-consensual pornography, or Intimate image abuse.
It is the act of sharing intimate images or videos of someone, either on or offline, without their consent with the intention of causing distress.
In April 2015, the Criminal Justice and Courts Act made it, 'an offence for a person to disclose a private sexual photograph or film if the disclosure is made without the consent of an individual who appears in the photograph or film, and with the intention of causing that individual distress'.
